“Ryan took great care of my dog while I was out of town for a week. She stopped by my house 3 times a day and walked my dog in the evenings. She sent me cute pictures which I appreciated. I was so happy that she was in good hands while I was gone.”
“Emily was wonderful! She was friendly, polite, and left my home the same as when I left it. Her report card was good and helpful as well. Emily is also the only Rover I’ve booked so far where my puppy wasn’t a nervous wreck when I got home.”
“First time using Rover and Liam isn’t used to strangers so we were both a bit nervous. Punctual; being right on time for the scheduled appointments, responsive with great communication and regular updates. The photos are a nice touch and helpful. Exceeded expectations. Thank you.”
“Alycia was nothing short of amazing. She accommodated us on very short notice and did a wonderful job with my senior dog. Excellent communication and followed all instructions perfectly. She gets 5 stars only because 6 or more aren’t an option.”
About: Hi! We’re Lainie and Stephen, and we’ve been caring for dogs for years in our cozy home in Fenton near the Bluffs. We know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog with someone you trust, so we focus on creating a calm, safe, and personalized experience for every pup who stays with us. Our laid-back dog Lucy loves having friends to play with, and we have a large fenced yard for plenty of exercise and outdoor time. We also have experience with senior dogs, administering oral medications, and caring for dogs with special needs. We treat every dog like part of the family and love sending photo updates so you can relax knowing your pup is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog loves playtime, cuddles, or a quieter environment, we do our best to make them feel right at home. 🐾 We live in a fully fenced home with a safe backyard, and both of us work primarily from home, so your dog is rarely left alone and always has attention and care. Our home is perfect for dogs who enjoy play, family interaction, and a predictable routine. We especially love hosting longer stays and repeat guests, giving dogs a comfortable, home-like environment while their families are away. We also have a cat who mostly stays downstairs, so all pets can feel at ease. We can’t wait to welcome your dog into our home and treat them like part of the family! My husband and I both work primarily from home so your pet would have around the clock care. Weekends and evenings kids are home for playtime! we have a fenced in backyard, and plenty of room inside for a crate and/or bed for your pet! plenty of room to safely roam around indoors or out.
“Having Linda drop in on my kitties everyday for 2 1/2 weeks has taken all the stress out of leaving them. Linda has been a wonderful pet sitter and their new best friend! Communication was excellent and I will definitely book her again.”
About: Hi, I’m Bella - I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. From energetic labs to a calm shorkie to now a loud doberman husky mix, I have loved every second of it!. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and it’s what inspired me to pursue a career in veterinary medicine (I’m currently in school to become a vet!). Whether your pup loves long walks or hikes, belly rubs, or just a cozy buddy to hang out with while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I understand that every dog is unique, and I make sure to always be attentive to their needs, routines, and quirks. I’d be honored to care for your furry family member like one of my own! Even with a part-time job and an internship, I make sure to prioritize time for pet care. I typically have mornings, evenings, and most weekends free for walks, check-ins, and quality time with your pup. I’m flexible and can work with your routine to ensure they’re let out, exercised, and cared for when they need it most. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a stroll around the neighborhood, or a long hike to burn off energy, I’m happy to make it work—just let me know what your dog needs! I always tailor my care to what each individual animal needs—whether that means creating a calm, soothing environment for a more relaxed or anxious pup, or providing a playful, energetic space for dogs who love to stay active and engaged. I believe in meeting animals where they’re at and making sure they feel safe, understood, and happy. I also have two friendly dogs of my own who love meeting new friends, so your pup will have the option to socialize if they’re comfortable with it. Whether your dog is a cuddler, a ball-chaser, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. If your pet needs extra medical care, I’m experienced with that too. I currently administer fluids to a friends cat and regularly handle medications and fluids through my wildlife care internship. I’m confident, gentle, and always follow instructions closely to make sure your pet stays healthy, calm, and comfortable.
“Our experience with Melanie was fantastic! She communicated clearly and consistently, sending daily updates and adorable photos & videos that kept us reassured. Our cats absolutely loved her—and it’s easy to see why. She’s truly awesome!”
“Danny and Jennifer were absolutely amazing with our pups for a really extended (two weeks!!) period of time. They came on time every day, twice a day, and saw to their basic needs, of course—food, water, love, play. But they also picked up after them, straightened the house, took the trash to the curb, kept the pups safe in the dorms, did troubleshooting on an AirTag collar, brought packages inside, gave great Rover cards, and clearly just CARED!!! They were great communicators and went WAY above and beyond in pretty much every possible way. Unsurprisingly, our pups love them! I will do everything I can to work with them again for future vacations!!”
“I am very happy I found Elizabeth! She took great care of my lab and rottweiler while I was on vacation. I booked Elizabeth for 2 drop in visits/day for 5 days. I left her very detailed instructions on feeding and playing, and she followed them to a T. She sent me adorable photos every day and my dogs looked so happy to have a new friend to play with. She is really great with dogs and my dogs clearly loved her. I was worried about leaving them at home while I was gone, but she gave me peace of mind with her daily check-ins which I really appreciated. I will definitely book her again in the future. Thank you, Elizabeth!”
“Sara took great care of both my cats, Jasper and Ella. She even went back to check on Ella when she was hiding, and sent me photo confirmation that gave me peace of mind. Reliable and caring highly recommend.”
About: I’m a lifelong cat lover with 12+ years of hands-on experience caring for my own cat, who recently passed away after a wonderful life. While I’m not ready to adopt yet, I’d love to care for yours. I’ve fostered a shelter cat, cared for a friend’s cat for about a year during COVID, and have cat-sat for friends many times. I also have some experience with dogs through friends—walking them together, spending time at dog parks, and playing with them at home. I’m comfortable around dogs of different sizes and personalities. I work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Depending on your pet’s needs, I can easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine and ensure your cat receives consistent attention, companionship, and care. I live in a house with a calm, cat-friendly environment and understand that every cat has its own personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your cat enjoys playtime and attention or prefers a quiet, predictable space, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for during their stay.
“Tiffany was wonderful with our two dogs and cat and gave great reports and photos. We will absolutely be using her in the future for more drop in visits when we’re out of town!”
“Amy did such a great job caring for my 2 cats! I was away for more than a week. She fed them and cleaned their liter box daily. She sent me little notes and pics daily, to let me know how my fur babies were doing while I was gone. It truly made me feel like they were being loved in my absence. We loved having you Amy, and hope to see you again. Thank you!”

Emily took excellent care of my babies. She was communicative and paid close attention to detail. My elderly cats and bearded dragon have a lot of special needs, but she made sure to get it all taken care of. She gave both of my kitties subcutaneous fluids without any problems. My rather shy kitty even warmed up to her enough to greet her and ask for sink water. I definitely recommend her.
Sonja was amazing! She was available last minute on a holiday weekend and did great with making me feel comfortable (it was my first time using this service). She also took time to let my cautious dog warm up, my pets were well taken care of! Will definitely recommend her and be using her again! :)

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Murphy on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of July 2026, there are 1,253 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Murphy. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
